Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH, thyrotropin) in dogs is similar in function to TSH found in other mammalian species, including humans. It is a glycoprotein produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Through its action on the thyroid gland, it plays a major role in maintaining normal circulating levels of the iodothyronines, T4 and T3. The production and secretion of TSH is controlled by negative feedback from circulating T4 and T3, and by the hypothalamic hormone TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone). The TSH molecule is composed of two nonidentical subunits, a and b, that are bound together in a noncovalent manner. Within a species, the TSH a subunit is structurally identical to the a subunits of the related glycoprotein hormones (LH, FSH and chorionic gonadotropin). The b subunit of TSH and the b subunits of the related hormones are structurally hormone-specific, and confer upon them their unique biological activities.
1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50 unique...
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives,...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food...
